Chapter 190

"Ah! Don't! My child!" Zhang Fan also didn't know how, after a loud roar, he suddenly opened his eyes, feeling his stomach still hurting, yet he actually felt relieved.

"Ah! My goodness! Fan Fan! You finally woke up! Do you have strength now? I heard you speaking so loudly, you should be able to continue, right?" Di Er saw Zhang Fan wake up, rubbing his ears, jumping back while speaking.

"Am, I feel I really can't hold on anymore! You should use a knife to cut open my belly and take the babies out first! I'm afraid that if we wait any longer, the babies will be in danger."

Zhang Fan strained to place his hand on his bulging belly, looking at it with affection, gritting his teeth, he pleaded with Di Er.

Di Er saw that Zhang Fan was indeed suffering, and since the amniotic fluid had broken several hours ago, yet no baby had appeared. Considering the babies, he naturally wanted to perform a C-section, but he was also afraid Zhang Fan couldn't endure the pain of having his belly cut open.

Wei Er saw Di Er still hesitating, couldn't help but walk up, pat his shoulder, and whisper in his ear:

"Di Er, I know as Fan Fan's Am you feel reluctant, but likewise, as his uncle, I also can't bear to see him suffer so much. However, Di Er, as medical practitioners, we must understand what is best for the patient."

Having said that, Wei Er paused, looked at the pained Zhang Fan, then continued:

"How painful childbirth is, we've all been through it, we understand. It's practically unbearable! Back then, because we were twins and had a vaginal delivery, it didn't take long, yet we still suffered a lot.

"Look at Fan Fan, he's carrying triplets! The risk itself is much greater, plus he's having a difficult labor, and it's been this long already, yet we still haven't seen the babies' heads.

"Think about it, if we don't promptly help him get the babies out, both mother and babies could be in danger! As the babies' grandfather, I'm sure you wouldn't want to see your grandson return to the Beast God's embrace before even being born."

After Wei Er's persuasion, Di Er also understood, clenched his teeth, nodded, and said: "Okay! Brother! I'll listen to you! I'll go tell Ba Ke Er about this now!"

After saying that, Di Er looked at Zhang Fan's face twisted in pain, steeled himself, turned and left the birthing room.

At this moment, the sky outside the birthing room was clearly illuminated by the white light from the east.

Many tribespeople, upon noticing the change outside, put on their clothes, rushed out, and stood in their courtyards or on their rooftops to watch this strange sight.

Di Er had just stepped out of the birthing room when he already felt something different, but because he was worried about Zhang Fan and the babies' condition, he didn't carefully observe this wonder, merely glancing up briefly.

Then he walked toward Ba Ke Er's direction. He lightly patted Ba Ke Er's arm, which had become stiff from holding the same posture for a long time, when he saw Ba Ke Er turn his head.

He hastily hid the worry on his face, replaced it with a relaxed expression, and said with a light laugh:

"Ba Ke Er, I want to tell you something about Fan Fan's current situation; I won't say much, just hope you relax and don't put too much pressure on yourself. I'm here only to tell you that Fan Fan has decided to undergo a C-section."

After speaking, Di Er didn't wait for Ba Ke Er to react, already turned around, the relaxed expression on his face instantly fading; as he walked, if you looked closely you could see tears sliding from the corners of his eyes.

By the time Ba Ke Er reacted, Di Er had already re-entered the birthing room and closed the door.

Ba Ke Er stared blankly at the tightly shut door, feeling suffocated inside, but more so a complex mix of worry and heartache.

Lei Ya and Fei Ji personally witnessed everything from when Di Er left the birthing room onward, the changes in emotion and expression, and also took in Ba Ke Er's performance fully.

The two glanced at each other, clearly seeing worry in each other's eyes. Lei Ya sighed, walked over to Ba Ke Er's side again, but this time he didn't offer verbal comfort; instead he directly imitated Ba Ke Er's action, "plop" — he knelt in the snow.

Afterwards, he also imitated Ba Ke Er, muttering solemnly as he began to pray.

Ba Ke Er saw his father kneeling beside him, starting to help pray for his partner, feeling deeply grateful. Then he turned his head and resumed the action he had just been interrupted from.

When the Priest and his partner arrived at the chief's home, they saw Lei Ya and his son stiffly kneeling in the snow, praying toward the east.

Fei Ji saw the Priest and his partner approaching, hurriedly went up to them, gave a salute to the couple, and said: "You've come at just the right time! Priest! Quickly look at this sky, what's going on? How come the sun is out before dawn?"

Hearing Fei Ji's words, the Priest smiled and shook his head, saying: "What's rising isn't the sun! It's……"

Having heard only half of the Priest's words, Fei Ji grew anxious, about to press for details, when he heard an ethereal voice suddenly come from the void.

Looking up! It was actually a handsome man dressed in a white robe, with a halo atop his head. At that moment, as the man's lips moved slightly, his voice shot straight down from the air, spreading throughout the Heaven Lion Tribe.

"It's me who has come! Beast God: Wu Si!"

Just seeing, when the Beast God spoke, the entire tribe's people were shocked. Everyone could hardly believe their eyes, each staring wide-eyed, trying to spot a flaw in him.

And Ba Ke Er at this moment was also shocked! He had originally been kneeling long in the snow, pleading, mostly giving himself psychological hints to not worry so much, but now seeing the Beast God truly arrive!

Ba Ke Er was both startled and delighted, so excited he didn't know what to say; tears suddenly burst forth, streaming freely. Lei Ya knelt beside his son, and regarding his reaction, he naturally saw it in his eyes. He also formed his own thoughts about the Beast God's identity in his heart.

The Priest saw the Beast God descend, immediately knelt down, and shouted loudly:

"I have long awaited the great deity's descent here! I hope the great deity can forgive our tribe's disrespect! This is truly due to ignorance!"

The remaining tribespeople, upon hearing the Priest say that, no longer dared doubt the Beast God's identity. They all lowered their heads, knelt, and cried out: "May the Beast God forgive us!"

Looking at the scene before him, Beast God Wu Si merely smiled and said softly: "Your ignorance of my arrival is indeed genuine, so I have no right to pursue this matter. Everyone, please rise!"

Everyone, upon hearing the Beast God say that, also rose to their feet, but none dared lift their heads to look at the Beast God, for they had indeed been disrespectful just moments ago. Even though the Beast God had no intention to pursue it, their hearts still could not forgive themselves.

At this moment, Ba Ke Er was still kneeling straight in the snow, head raised, gazing at the Beast God in the void, full of hope.

The Beast God naturally also saw Ba Ke Er, and smilingly said to him: "Ba Ke Er, you should also rise quickly! I already know about Fan Fan's situation. I will help, so you can rest assured!"

After saying that, the Beast God still gave a light chuckle, raised his hand, gesturing for Ba Ke Er to get up.

Upon hearing the Beast God's promise, Ba Ke Er's gratitude overflowed; he hurriedly followed the Beast God's meaning and stood up.

At this moment in the birthing room, Wei Er and Di Er had already prepared the tools needed to perform surgery on Zhang Fan. Although the environment was indeed crude, lacking the equipment found in an operating room on Earth.

Not even a proper surgical knife was available. The knife to be used for Zhang Fan's surgery was merely a bamboo knife made by sharpening bamboo slices. Even the alcohol used for disinfection on Earth was replaced by Wei Er's homemade disinfectant powder.

However, despite the environment and these surgical tools being very rudimentary, it still didn't affect Zhang Fan. Because at this time he had already taken the anesthetic fed to him by Wei Er and fallen asleep.

Wei Er and Di Er carried the tools to Zhang Fan's side, patted his body to confirm he was asleep, then placed the tools on the table and began preparing for the surgery.

Wei Er turned his head, nodded at Di Er, who immediately understood, stepped forward and lifted Zhang Fan's clothes, revealing his entire round belly. Then he took the disinfectant powder from the table and sprinkled it bit by bit onto his abdomen.

After doing that, Di Er then said to Wei Er: "All right! We can begin!"

Just as Di Er's words fell, Wei Er had already picked up the bamboo slice knife that had been roasted over fire, and with a swift motion cut a large opening in Zhang Fan's lower abdomen.

As soon as Zhang Fan's belly was cut, bright red blood gushed out uncontrollably. Di Er, seeing this, unusually did not panic; he simply took the hemostatic powder from the table and slowly scattered it onto the wound.

Soon the flowing blood was staunched, and Wei Er moved on to the next step. He raised his bamboo knife again, slicing along that opening, layer by layer cutting open the flesh of Zhang Fan's lower abdomen.

The surgery proceeded smoothly to this point; everything went well, and the originally uneasy hearts of Wei Er and Di Er gradually steadied.

Not long after, Wei Er had completely cut open the flesh of Zhang Fan's lower abdomen; at this point, through the layers of tissue, one could see the babies inside Zhang Fan's belly.

And Zhang Fan's little treasures, as soon as they drew their first breath of air, were swiftly pulled out one by one from their father's belly by the anxious Di Er and Wei Er brothers.

Just having emerged from their father's belly, the babies couldn't hold back their instinct and began to wail "ah—ah".

After placing the babies in a nearby cradle, Di Er hurried back to Wei Er's side, and together they used the prepared sheep-gut suture to stitch up Zhang Fan's wound.

The two, having grown up together since childhood as close brothers, naturally had superb rapport; every time they cooperated they could finish tasks quickly. Of course, this time was no exception!

They didn't keep Ba Ke Er and the others outside waiting long; Wei Er and Di Er had already sutured Zhang Fan's wound. However, because the anesthetic's effect hadn't worn off yet, Zhang Fan remained lying on the bed, still asleep.

The moment the surgery ended, Di Er could hardly wait, cradle in hand, he went to the delivery room door; just as he opened it, intending to call Ba Ke Er to see the baby, he saw the Beast God Wu Si in the void, and Ba Ke Er, who had long been waiting outside.

"Ba Ke Er… who is this? Is this the Beast God?" Di Er thought for a moment, still unsure of Wu Si's identity, so he whispered a plea for help directly to his son.

Ba Ke Er naturally knew what his Am meant, so he hurriedly lowered his voice and said in his ear: "Yes! This is the Beast God: Wu Si!"

Having said that, Ba Ke Er could hardly wait, he pushed open the delivery room door and strode inside. And upon seeing Zhang Fan asleep, his heart felt as if something had tightly gripped it, making him feel awful.

He didn't even have time to glance at the newborn before tears welled up and fell uncontrollably. He quickly stepped forward, gently took Zhang Fan's hand, tenderly kissed it, and said, "My love, you've worked hard."

That gentle motion was as if he were handling something fragile, afraid his strength would be too much and hurt his sleeping partner.
